RE: The Greatest Military Social Engineering Attack Since The Trojan's Horse?

What I find most intriguing is how the McCain campaign got into the loop - I
assume a casual coincidence inspired by friends in high places.

Could you elaborate on this please?  I have been unable to discover any
news articles that would lead me to believe this was a massive social
engineering operation.  Thanks.

By now I am sure you are all aware of the Columbian military's freeing
of the FARC hostages. What I find most interesting is that this appears
to be a purely social engineering attack.

The English language media have not provided that much detail thus far
about the social engineering aspects of the operation. If anyone has
more information regarding how the rescue was social engineered, please
post it to this thread.

Just based on what I have seen thus far, this may turn out to be one of
the greatest social engineering attacks in military history.
